i need help

[Mish_]

well, recently i just purchased a bass amp from this local guy on craigslist.
he sold it to me for 30 bucks. it's in good condition.

I'm not sure how many watts it really is.
I was thinking 50.

At the back it says:
50 watts
8 ohms
20 v RMS

and then under the plug it says...
120 vac
60 Hz
150 watts

which is it?

It's a very old Peavey Basic 60

it's this one:

It's a "50 watt bass amp" .

The spec under the plug is the wattage used by the amp.

Yep, 50 watt, 12" combo. I have one as my small practice amp and it actually has a decent tone IMO.

BTW, that was a really good deal at $30.

50 watt practice amp. For $30 you can't go wrong. Peavey is reliable for the price. Decent stuff too.

150 watts is the power the amp will suck out of the power company through the plug

50 watts is the power of the music delivered to your ears

The difference warms up your room
